those that sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither

Statistically insignificant. Without an accurate inflation key, the number may be higher.
But considering the social welfare programs already in place, probably 11% or more of these 15%
Probably live better than 70% of people in 1955

Well, except that food was over all less contaminated and more nutritious in 1955
